Flexible packaging: flow pack, stabilo pack, doy pack, pillow bag, sachet, stick, bag/big bag

Frequently asked questions about flexible packaging equipment

Which pack formats does this equipment cover?

Flow-pack, pillow bag, stabilo-pack with a flat bottom, doypack, sachet and stick, as well as filling into sacks and big bags. The format determines the type of machine and the set of format parts, so the list of required packs must be fixed in the technical specification before the equipment is chosen.

How does a vertical machine differ from a horizontal one?

A vertical machine (VFFS) forms the bag from a reel and fills it from above — this is the solution for free-flowing, granulated and flowable products. A horizontal machine (HFFS, flow-pack) wraps a discrete item of constant shape — biscuits, bars, cheese, bakery products. The product determines the type of machine unambiguously.

Which doser do we need for our product?

A multihead weighing doser — for discrete and fragile products, with high accuracy and speed. An auger doser — for powders. A volumetric cup doser — for uniform free-flowing products. A pump or piston doser — for pastes and liquids. The doser often costs no less than the packaging machine itself, so it is selected to suit the product rather than on a leftover basis.

Does the equipment work with mono-material and biodegradable films?

Yes, but such materials have a narrower sealing temperature window and behave differently under tension. Appropriate sealing jaws, film feed settings and mandatory testing on the specific film are required. We carry out such tests before delivery, not after.

How do the rated speed and the actual output relate?

The rated packs per minute are achieved on a specific format and a specific film. The actual output per shift depends on the number of changeovers, the stability of the product feed and maintenance discipline. We calculate the output from your real SKU range.
